No it isnt.

If there are packages and "nobody" is has the power to edit the
definitions and the versions that are loaded then it is almost
guaranteed not to work, since no one can fix the problems.

"everyone is a czar" means that it can be a genuinely collaborative
processes, and everyone who cares is a potential tester and fixer. They
are entirely different.

I remember when some thought wiki's would never catch on.
